| Abstract | Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a distinct peripheral nervous system (PNS) disorder characterised by sudden attacks of neuropathic pain, usually in a unilateral upper extremity, and patchy paresis with amyotrophy. Under-recognition of NA patients may be frequent because symptoms of NA can be similar to those of common orthopedic disorders. The lesion sites of NA are commonly considered to be brachial plexus (BP) and/or individual branches of the BP. The cause of NA remains unknown. Some evidence support the concept of a complex pathogenesis in NA that includes underlying predisposition and susceptible PNS structures, and it can be triggered by infection, trauma, and strenuous exercise. Typical presentation of NA is characterized by patchy paresis of the periscapular and periglenohumeral muscles. In such cases, STIR-MRI often shows hyperintense signal abnormalities on the affected side of the proximal upper BP. NA is considered to be broad and encompasses a spectrum of atypical presentations, including involvement of lower part of BP, isolated nerves (anterior interosseous nerve or posterior interosseous nerve), or lumbosacral plexuses. Functional prognosis of NA is less favorable than previously assumed. Administration of corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin was described as potential therapeutics for NA, although their efficacy remains unestablished. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
